Land Tax: 1767-1833
This tax was based on the value of property etc. and paid by the owner or (sometimes) occupier according to their agreement. It started in 1692 and valuations are based on those done at this date.
For more information on these records see the Land Tax Assessments page. This is also where examples of the standard headers from 1798 to 1825 and 1826 to 1832 are linked to.

Notes
- William Charles Keppel (born 1772), succeeded to title 4th Earl of Albemarle when General George Keppel (3rd Earl) died 1772. He lived at Quidenham Hall. He was buried 7/Nov/1849 aged 77yrs.
- The Reverend John Hull took up his post in 1731 (Patrons were Isabella and Charlotte Holland) according to the "List of Norfolk Benefices" by "Dawson Turner" published in 1847 (under "Quiddenham"). Hull was succeeded by Reverend William Green on 10th Sept. 1779 (Patron was Mary Green, Widow). Green was succeeded by Fras. Thos. Hamond on 16th Feb. 1789 (Patron Lord Albemarle from now on). Hamond succeeded by Jas. Stuart Mackenzie on 26th July 1806 and he by Fras. Thos. Hamond on 15th Feb 1812. Hon. Edward Southwell Keppel started on 18th Oct 1826.
- JPs (Justices of the Peace) who passed these accounts are:-
"CD" = "Charles Dunham", "WG" = "William Grigson", "JW" = "John Wright" - Assessors [AS] or Collectors [CO] (1826 form said they must live within parish) :- "JC"= "John Collings", "JCo" = " John Coulson".
- In other documents the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
Foster/Forster, Mackensey/Mackenzie. - Abbreviations in the above transcription have the following meanings:-
"Sr" = "Sir", "Revd" = "Reverend", "Fr" = "Francis", "Mg" = "Manning", "Thos" = "Thomas" and "Wm" = "William". - Rate was at 4s/£1 (of Valuation) for all the above years except for 1767 when it was 3s/£1.
- In the "1832 Register of Electors - Western Division" the following are present as being qualified under Quidenham :-
2678 Edward Southwell Keppel -Rectory House - Quidenham Rectory - Rectory House
2679 John Collings - Quidenham - Parish clerk, a salary of fifty-two shillings a year - John Collings, near the blacksmith's shop - The "Manning Gooch" entry under Proprietor for 1807-08 looks like an error.
